Stars edge Predators

Posted on April 5, 2015

Cody Eakin scored on a penalty shot with
55.7 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 win against
the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Saturday.

Nashville defenseman Mattias Ekholm slashed
Eakin's stick out of his hands on a breakaway, setting up the game-winning
penalty shot.

"I was trying to catch my breath
first, and then I was trying to figure out what the heck I'm going to do,"
Eakin said. "They actually came out, a couple guys, and I don't know if
they were buying their goalie some time or what, but it was giving me an extra
breath. I went to the old faithful and shot it low blocker."
